Readme

A very simple CLI to check who’s done the most commits/edits on a git repo, without having to remember the magic incantation for the git shortlog command every time.

Building

I wrote this in Rust using

$ rustc --version
rustc 1.80.1 (3f5fd8dd4 2024-08-06)

I’m pretty sure the Rust Minimum Supported Version is way lower than that but I have no way of testing it.

If you have rust installed (see https://www.rust-lang.org) you can build the project with cargo, as usual: cargo build --release.

Then you can put the resulting CLI (./target/release/whos-done-that) anywhere in your $PATH, since most of the dependencies are statically linked:

$ ldd target/release/whos-done-that
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x000075253371a000)
        libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x000075253336d000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000075253371c000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x000075253333f000)

Installation

For a one-liner installer, this will do the trick (provided you have cargo installed) :

cargo install --git https://github.com/vvzen/whos-done-that.git main

Usage

Since this was written in an afternoon and a bit, there’s no a lot of bells and whistles.

You just need to point the CLI at a valid git repo, by using the -t/--target-dir flag.

The actual result will be written to stdout so you can manipulate it via the usual UNIX tools, e.g.:

$ whos-done-that -t ~/dev/personal/opensource/OpenColorIO | head -n 5
